CLAIMING PROPERTIES ABROAD 



Columbus Smith, of West Salisbury, Vermont, who has bee a 
successfully engaged in the prosecution ol Claims in Europe for the 
last twenty-five years, haying in connection with this business du- 
ring the time, crossed the Atlantic sixteen times, and having pro- 
cured and brought to America the largest properties ever procured 
in England for American citizens, having uissolved partnership 
with Mr. Fisher, has formed a co-partnership with A. B. Herrick, 
an attorney from Burlington, Vt., for the purpose of continuing 
the prosecution of claims of persons in America to properties 
abroad. They will now undertake the collection of property 
abroad, for persons in America on the most reasonable terms. From 
their great experience in this business, they have no doubt but 
they shall be able to give perfect satisfaction to all such as favor 
them with their business. 

Mr. Herrick intends soon to leave for Europe, and will for a 
term of years make his headquarters in London, so as to give bis 
personal attention there to such business as may be entrusted to 
him. 

Mr. Smith intends for the present to remain in America, in order 
to prepare cases to forward to Mr. Herrick from time to time. 

Mr. Smith would inform those who think themselves entitled tt> 
properties abroad, that he claims to have the largest collection of 
information relative to unclaimed property abroad, to be found 
either in Europe or America, that while recently in Great Britain 
he procured lists of the unclaimed dividends of the Bank of England, 
unclaimed dividends in the Court. of. Chancery, and in the East 
Indies, also unclaimed properties^ m the possession of the British 
Government, comprising the nahles and descriptions of several 
thousand persons entitled to various sums of money, lie also pro- 
cured the names of some 60,000 persons wdiieh have appeared in 
advertisements in Great Britain within the last one hundred years, 
as well as complete copies of many thousand next of kin and betra 
at law advertisements. Among which may be found the following

An Examination of this wh?le Collection, which is claimed 
to be the most perfect collection of information relative to un- 
claimed properties abroad, can be had for a reasonable compensa- 
tion. 

This country, as is well known, was settled principally by 
persons from Great Britain and Ireland. So imperfect has been 
the means of communication between America and Europe, that 
thousands who came here never heard from their relatives after 
they emigrated . From time to time persons have died there leav- 
ing large sums of money by will or otherwise to their friends or 
relatives in America. In very many cases the persons here en- 
titled have never heard of such property being left them, and 
others have heard of it, but had not the means here, or disposition 
to attend to it ; consequently very many large properties are new 
there unclaimed belonging to persons in America. In most cases 
these properties can now be recovered, by the legatees, heirs or 
next of Kin in this country, on their producing proper proof of 
title. The amount of property there unclaimed is very much 
larger than is generally supposed. The amount of money unclaim- 
ed, disputed or in abeyance in Great Britain and its dependencies, 
amounts to hundreds of millions of pounds sterling. This may 
seem an exaggerated account but it is nevertheless true. 

In the Parli mentary return of the Accountant General of 
the Court of Chancery, in 1855, the amount of Stock and Securi- 
ties in Court unclaimed, exclusive of Stock purchased with Suitors 
cash in Court, is stated to be between 47 and 48 millions of pounds, 
sterling. 

In other Parliamentary Returns, in 1845, millions are shown 
to be unclaimed in the English foreign possessions. 

There are hundreds of millions unclaimed in the Bank of 
England, and in South Sea annuities ; and hundreds of millions 
in the possession of the Government which has escheated to the 
crown for want of next'of kin, or heirs to claim it. This can now 
be recovered by the next of kin, or heirs at law. on their showing 
themselves such next of kin or heirs at law, though some of it may 
have been in the possession of the Government for over a hundred 
yeat s. A large portion of the unclaimed property there is in pos- 
session of Administrators, Executors and Trustees, awaiting proper 
claimants. Properties so situated can usually be recovered bj* 
persons legally entitled, with little trouble and expense. 

Cominuincations are particularly invited from all persons, 
knowing or supposing themselves to be entitled to property within 
the Kingdom of Great Britain or Ireland. 

The next of kin or the heirs at law of the following named 
persons can easily procure property in England on showing them- 
selves to be such next of kin. Nearly all of them died in England
